Our Story
Hope has painted alongside Cole Knippen in Winchester, Indiana, where he has been part of the Steve Ross and Dana Jester workshop community since their first gatherings in 2019. Over the years, Hope has watched him continue to develop as an artist while remaining part of the friendly, familiar group that makes those workshop trips feel like much more than a class.

Cole is included here as a fellow workshop artist and part of Hope’s Winchester painting community rather than as one of her formal instructors.
Their Work in
the Blakely Art Collection
I do not currently have an original work by Cole represented in the Blakely Art Collection. He is included here because of the role he has played in the shared workshop community that has shaped my painting journey.
